Team Katniss Fashion

As my closest friends (and my students) know, I’m a major Hunger Games geek. I’ve been counting down the days until the premiere of the upcoming movie inspired by Suzanne Collins’ novel. (Only 17 more days to go!)

I’m a writer and nerd so, of course, I had to read all the books in The Hunger Games trilogy before the movie. If you haven’t, I encourage you to do the same. Yes, it’s Young Adult literature, but it’s very well-written with a compelling plot and complex characters. And even if you’re a blogger, journalist, or essayist, I truly believe that reading non-fiction can help your craft as the art of storytelling is so essential to all forms of writing.

I’m also a girl with a passion for fashion so, yes, I’ve been wondering, “What will I wear when I go see the movie.” And here’s my answer:

The feminist in me could not resist. You see, The Hunger Games has a Twilight-esque love triangle and just as Twi-hards sport Team Edward and Team Jacob gear, there are plenty of t-shirts out there boasting Team Peeta or Team Gale. But Katniss is the hero of this story so let’s celebrate her instead. Girl power!

But, just for fun, here are some other examples of Hunger Games-inspired fashion, all from Etsy.com in honor of National Crafts Month.
